5 of 5 Small, powerful with many useful functions Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Ferb from Omaha, Nebraska  

To enable all its features one must buy a “XD M+” 2GB memory card. For instance, without M+ it works fine for photos using another memory card, but the amount of video is limited to seconds. I installed the “Olympus Master” software, updated it to found out that the camera was delivered with the latest firmware version 1.2. This firmware is necessary to have access to all the features. The menus are logic, user friendly and useful. The photos are clear with excellent color, especially if one uses the menu adjustments properly.
